A 40-year-old Bangladeshi construction worker was hospitalised following an accident involving a toppled crane on May 29.
The incident, which occurred at about 6pm along Belgravia Drive, happened when a lorry crane was lifting a concrete bucket and toppled on its passenger side, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) said when asked.
The worker was struck by the concrete bucket, fracturing his ankle and cutting his hand...
He had been working at the construction site for a strata landed project called Belgravia Ace. The project is being developed by Fairview Developments, with the work site currently occupied by Kimly Construction.
MOM said that, as a general safety measure, the ground surface on which a lorry crane is operated on should be determined to be safe. Outriggers should also be extended and secured if required before lifting is done.
It added that the use of a stability control system can help to detect the extension of each outrigger and automatically restrict the crane’s manoeuvres within a safe lifting zone, which prevents a lorry crane from overturning.
In this case, the lorry crane was not installed with such a system, said MOM...
ST has contacted Kimly Construction for more information...
